FSW Legacy Society

The FSW Legacy Society honors donors who include the FSW Foundation in their long-term plans with a minimum commitment of $10,000 through a will, trust, or estate plan.

Ways to Make a Legacy Gift

• Bequest in your will or trust – the simplest and most popular option.
• Beneficiary designation – name FSW Foundation as a beneficiary of a retirement account (e.g., IRA, 401K), life insurance policy, or brokerage account.
• Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) – if you are 70½ or older, you can transfer funds directly from your IRA to FSW, reducing taxable income while satisfying required minimum distributions.
• Trusts and life income gifts – options like Charitable Remainder Trusts may provide lifetime income, tax advantages, and lasting impact.

Why Give This Way?

Your legacy gift allows FSW to:

• Support students with scholarships and programs well into the future.
• Provide flexibility through unrestricted gifts to meet evolving needs.
• Strengthen our region by preparing graduates for careers and leadership.
